How do I relax??? - Miscarriage & Still Birth Message Board

Hi There... I'm 10 weeks pregnant today, but started spotting yesterday. I had menstral like cramps all day. The spotting never actually flowed out, just there when I wipe. Started out pinkish and got darker through the day. My OB emergency number said go to the ER. My cervix is closed (good sign) and the dr said there was just bloody mucas (sorry if tmi!!) at the tip of the cervix. They said it could possibly be the first signs of a miscarriage, or it could be many other things. They didn't do an ultrasound since my bleeding wasn't major. They did do a Beta test and I have to go Monday for a repeat to make sure the levels rise. Still have cramps and slight spotting today (still only when I wipe) Has anyone experienced this and gone on to actually miscarry? My heart goes out to all of you. Thanks in advance for your responses.

hi there...i dont know if this will help but i saw that no one has responded to you so i wanted to try and help. The first time i was pregnant i started bleeding about the same time you did i went to the er and they also did not do an ultrasound on me told me my levels were fine and sent me home, and i had a healthy baby girl who is now 4 years old. But on my second pregnancy i just felt like something was wrong and had really light pink discharge so i figured it was nothing since i had actually bleed during my first pregnancy...but they did do an ultrasound and i had had a miscarriage so i think they determine if they should do an ultrasound on your bloodwork so it they did some testing and it was normal i would sit back and relax and enjoy being pregnant...like i said i bleed more with my healthy pregnancy then i did when they told me i had a miscarriage...hope this helps or at least eases your mind a little bit...good luck to you and i hope you have a healthy baby

p.s when i had my miscarriage i never spotted it was full flow from the start.
